Y., for 1870-71, compiled by Hamilton Child, 1870. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Schaghticoke was formed as a district, March 24, 1772, and as a town, March 7, 1788. Pittstown was taken off March 7, 1788, and a part of Lansingburgh in 1819. It lies on the Hudson, in the north-west corner of the county. The surface is principally a rolling upland, about 200 feet above the river. The summits of the hills in the south are 800 feet above tide. Hoosick River, flowing through the north part, is bordered on a portion of its course by steep banks 200 feet high. On this stream, at the mouth of Tomhannock Creek, is a beautiful circular valley, three-fourths of a mile in circumference, and bounded on nearly every side by steep hills. A small stream, called the Dwaas Kil, flows from the Hudson into the mouth of the Hoosick. When the Hoosick suddenly rises, the current of the stream is often changed, and it is not uncommon to see it running north in the morning and south at night. The name, Dwaas Kil, signifies "stream running both ways." The soil is generally a fertile, sandy or gravelly loam. Manufacturing is carried on to some extent in the town. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 1:00 PM Subject: ROOTS-L Digest V06 #428 > ROOTS-L Digest Volume 06 : Issue 428 > > Today's Topics: > #1 looking for location of city [Teri Bonner > X-Message: #1 > Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 13:19:52 -0700 (PDT) > From: Teri Bonner > Subject: looking for location of city > > Does anybody know where a city called Schaghticoke is located? > Looking for a Robert Baxter that resided there in September 1898 and > was a brother of George L.
